I finished the chemo a week ago and am still tired and unable to eat much. I had chemo years ago the first time I had breast cancer, and honestly it was a walk in the park. I didn't understand why people dreaded it so, or why some people were not able to complete their course. I get it now. There's chemo and there's chemo.

I had expected to have another four treatments 3 weeks apart after this, but the oncologist has decided to hold off. The nurse told me that the next course is even worse, so I hope I never need more.

I hope you are continuing your fight, too, and prevailing.
